They “are the real deal,” a confidant tells Us Weekly. “I’ve never seen her like this.” And now that West has won over the woman he’s told friends is his “dream girl,” he’s playing for keeps. “He waited for Kim,” says a West pal. “He knows they’re meant to be.” “They’re seriously talking marriage,” says the West pal, “and yes, she would.” He’s also hot to start a spinoff family of their own. “Kanye says he can’t wait to see her carrying his child,” says the source. “He says she will look beautiful pregnant.”

SIMON COWELL: Worried About Brit

Oops, she did it again: Britney Spears is back to behaving badly! An insider says The X Factor creator Simon Cowell is already anxious about Spears’ unpredictable behavior. “He wonders if hiring her was a mistake,” says the source. The trouble began May 24 at auditions in Austin. “When a contestant botched her hit ‘Hold It Against Me,’ she just left,” says a witness. “She missed the next four auditions. People weren’t sure if she was coming back.” (Spears, 30, later tweeted: “LOL was just taking a little break people.”)

Another issue? Her judging style. A witness says that while Cowell, 52, L.A. Reid, 56, and Demi Lovato, 19, critiqued contestants, Spears “always said nice things, even telling one mediocre singer he could be ‘bigger than Justin Bieber.’ Simon was shocked!” While an X Factor insider counters, “Simon doesn’t regret hiring Britney, and as a judge, she had strong opinions,” the first source cautions, “I don’t know how she’s going to handle the live shows!”

Her Family Feud

As Emily Maynard’s love life heats up on The Bachelorette, her family ties are cooling off. The parents of her late fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, are “livid” the mother, 26, of their granddaughter Ricki, 6, has returned to reality TV. “When Emily first went on The Bachelor, they weren’t pleased, but they supported her,” a source tells Hot Stuff. “Now that she went back, they’re not speaking.” And though another insider insists, “The family has a great relationship with her,” the source maintains, “This is really not the way they saw Emily’s future.”

MARK ZUCKERBERG: His Quirky Honeymoon!

What’s not to “like”? Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, worth $19 billion when his company went public May 18, put his money to work during his Italian honeymoon with Priscilla Chan. The couple, who wed on May 19, stayed at Rome’s $1,000-a-night Portrait Suites hotel before flying, via private jet, to Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. But Zuckerberg, 28, and the med school grad, 27, also made some budget-friendly buys. The newlyweds spent just $40 at kosher eatery Nonna Betta on May 26. “They shared a plate of ravioli,” owner Umberto Pavoncello tells Us, adding that instead of celebrating with cocktails, the couple sipped water and tea!

Tom’s Problem With the Pins

How does Tom Cruise roll? Apparently, right into the gutter! When the Rock of Ages cast hit Miami’s Lucky Strike for a wrap party last summer, the star, 49, totally tanked. “He was horrible,” says a witness, adding that the actor threw zeroes on many frames. Still, the source adds that when he joked with Cruise about his score, “he just looked at me and smiled!”

Sherry Bush (seen above), who lives in a small town of Ohio called Westlake, recently was the victim of a very interesting break-in.

The criminal, Sue Warren, broke into her house, did some light cleaning…and then left a bill.

As was reported by the local NBC affiliate in Ohio, this wasn’t the first time Mrs. Bush’s house had been subject to the drive-by cleaning: last week, while she was away and her daughter was sleeping upstairs, someone broke in the house, took out trash, vacuumed the carpet and cleaned up the playroom. (Needless to say, Warren left a bill for $75).

Warren’s cleaning company, Sue Warren Cleaning, can be found online.

The worst part? Bush wasn’t happy with the service! “Now that we’ve seen the job that she did, it was like whoa, $75? $15, maybe,” Bush said, laughing.

No charges have been filed against Warren as of this writing, but they may still come.

Romans 1:26-27 reads: “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” (NIV)

After a video of the toddler singing the song was put on the internet, the church began to receive death threats and hate mail. The threats have persisted and been serious enough to get Jeff Sangl, the Pastor of the church, to leave on vacation with his wife without telling anyone their location. The church has increased their security and moved some of their events to secret locations in response.

When asked about the video, a member of the church said “The people who are upset just don’t read the word of God. If we don’t teach the children the truth early they will never learn.”

Around 2:00 in the morning in Niagara Falls, NY, a man ordered $10 worth of food from a Denny’s restaurant. Then he preceded to pay with a one dollar bill and a bag of weed!

According to The Huffington Post, when the cashier wouldn’t accept the marijuana as a form of payment, the man then attempted to sell it to other customers eating at Denny’s. The cashier called the police and the man fled to into a nearby forest before they arrived.

However, it doesn’t look like the man will be on the loose for long. Someone dining out recognized the pothead and was able to provide the police with the man’s name and address. He hasn’t returned home since the incident, but surely, he must return for his stash at some point!

Yes, you read that right! A high school honor student from Texas was thrown in jail for missing too many classes.

Diane Tran, 17, was arrested in open court on Wednesday, after receiving warnings by the judge for missing school the month before. “If you let one run loose, what are you gonna’ do with the rest of ‘em?,” said Judge Lanny Moriarty. “Let them go too? A little stay in the jail for one night is not a death sentence.” In fact, she admitted to wanting to make an example of the teen!

It may not be a death sentence, but Tran has a lot on her plate, working both full-time and part-time jobs, in addition to taking advanced and college level courses, and that makes a 24-hour jail stint plus a $100 fine a pretty big set-back.

Even Tran’s classmates admit that she has a lot more to deal with than the average high school student playing hooky. “She goes from job to job from school. She stays up until 7 a.m. in the morning doing her homework,” said Devin Hill, a classmate and co-worker.

If that weren’t enough responsibility, the 17-year-old honor student was also left to raise her younger sister after her parents split up and moved away. Wow. Give the girl a break!
